Golden hue- slight haze; not cloudy at all.

The nose is nice, with a tinge of acidity and a slight funk. I get earthy, grassy notes as well.

There is a perfect balance with this beer. Up front I get an easy drinking, wheat aspect that fades way to a citrusy/ lemon rind bitterness that hits your jaw ever so slightly with the mouth puckering quality I love in a sour. the finish is a dry and you find yourself going back for more. The alcohol is HIDDEN...7.5% and this thing drinks like it's 3%! Goes down dangerously.

Nice carbonation, perfect head, slight lacing and a lasting effervescence.

This is a collaboration effort for Pittsburgh Craft Beer Week by Hop Farm Brewing and Box Office Brew Review. This is also Hop Farm's first bottle release. Overall this is a rock solid beer. I only wish this were a regular staple as I would down a growler on a consistent basis.

Pours light cloudy, straw. Bubbly, thin white head fades immediately.

Smells tart lemon, yeast funk and hints lemon.

Tastes sour lemon, tart apple, yeast funk and musty hints fade in and out. Finish is dry with a light tart apple linger lighter body and fizzy medium carbonation.

Bomber numbered 364/500 into a wine glass appears clear golden yellow with a white cap.

Aroma is lemony lactic with some cereal grains and some yogurt to stale grain funk.

Tastes tart and lemony like yogurt and spoiled grain/mash with almost a vinous sweetness.

Light in body with modest carbonation. Its aight.

Pour is a hazed pale golden yellow with a small amount of white head. Nose is heavily doughy with a moderate lemon character with notes of hop bitterness and some acidity. Taste is sweeter, lots of lemon, a good bit of doughy malt, light acidity, crisp cracker, sweet sugars, butyric acid. Assertive carb, light body, a bit grainy.
